              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 March 31, 1998

                      (in millions, unless otherwise noted)


NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis  of  Presentation.   The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements of Terex Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1998
and for the three  months  ended March 31,  1998 and 1997 have been  prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information and the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and footnotes  required
by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  to be  included  in  full  year
financial statements.  The accompanying  condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of December 31, 1997,  has been  derived from the audited  consolidated  balance
sheet as of that date.

The condensed  consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of Terex
Corporation and its majority owned subsidiaries ("Terex" or the "Company").  All
material intercompany balances, transactions and profits have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management,  all adjustments  considered  necessary for a fair
presentation have been made. Such adjustments  consist only of those of a normal
recurring  nature.  Operating  results for the three months ended March 31, 1998
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending  December 31, 1998. For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
financial  statements  and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

In the first  quarter  of 1998,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income." SFAS
No. 130 requires disclosure of total non-shareowner changes in equity in interim
periods and additional  disclosures of the components of non-shareowner  changes
in equity on an annual basis. Total non-shareowner changes in equity include all
changes in equity during a period except those  resulting from  investments  by,
and distributions to, shareowners.  The specific components include: net income,
deferred  gains and losses  resulting  from  foreign  currency  translation  and
minimum pension liability adjustments. For the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and
March 31, 1997, total non-shareowner  changes in equity were ($31.9) and ($2.0),
respectively.


NOTE B -- ACQUISITIONS

On January 5, 1998,  the  Company  completed  the  purchase of  Payhauler  Corp.
("Payhauler").  Payhauler manufactures  four-wheel drive off-highway trucks. The
operating  results of  Payhauler  are  included  in the  Company's  consolidated
results of operations since January 5, 1998.

On March 31, 1998, the Company  purchased all of the  outstanding  shares of O&K
Mining GmbH ("O&K Mining") from O&K Orenstein & Koppel AG ("Orenstein & Koppel")
for net  aggregate  consideration  of  approximately  $168,  subject  to certain
post-closing  adjustments.  The transaction was financed through the issuance of
the Company's New Senior  Subordinated  Notes (as defined  below) and borrowings
under the Company's  New Bank Credit  Facility (as defined  below).  O&K Mining,
which  will  be part of the  Terex  Earthmoving  segment,  is  headquartered  in
Dortmund,  Germany, and has operations in the United States, the United Kingdom,
Australia,  Canada,  South Africa and  Singapore.  O&K Mining markets a complete
range of large  hydraulic  mining  shovels  serving  the global  surface  mining
industry and the global construction and infrastructure development markets.

On March 6, 1998, the Company  redeemed or defeased all of its $166.7  principal
amount  of its then  outstanding  13-1/4%  Senior  Secured  Notes  due 2002 (the
"Senior Secured  Notes").  Concurrently  therewith,  the Company also refinanced
substantially  all of its then existing  domestic and foreign  revolving  credit
debt.  The  proceeds  for the offer to purchase  and the  repayment  of its then
existing  revolving  credit  facility were obtained  from  borrowings  under the
Company's  new  $500.0  global  bank  credit  facility  (the  "New  Bank  Credit
Facility").  In connection  with the  refinancing of the Company's then existing
credit  facility and the  repurchase of the Senior  Secured  Notes,  the Company
incurred   extraordinary   losses  of  $1.9  and  $36.4,   respectively.   These
extraordinary losses have been recorded in the first quarter of 1998.

The New Bank Credit Facility  consists of a new secured global  revolving credit
facility  aggregating up to $125.0 million (the "New Revolving Credit Facility")
and  two  term  loan  facilities  (collectively,  the  "Term  Loan  Facilities")
providing  for loans in an  aggregate  principal  amount of up to  approximately
$375.0  million.  The New  Revolving  Credit  Facility  will be used for working
capital and general corporate  purposes,  including  acquisitions.  With limited
exceptions,  the obligations of the Borrowers under the New Bank Credit Facility
are secured by (i) a pledge of all of the capital stock of domestic subsidiaries
of the Company, (ii) a pledge of 65% of the stock of the foreign subsidiaries of
the Company and (iii) a first priority  security  interest in, and mortgages on,
substantially all of the assets of Terex and its domestic subsidiaries.  The New
Bank Credit  Facility  contains  covenants  limiting the Borrowers'  activities,
including,  without  limitation,  limitations  on dividends and other  payments,
liens, investments, incurrence of indebtedness, mergers and asset sales, related
party transactions and capital  expenditures.  The New Bank Credit Facility also
contains certain financial and operating covenants, including a maximum leverage
ratio, a minimum  interest  coverage  ratio and a minimum fixed charge  coverage
ratio.

Pursuant to the Term Loan Facilities,  the Borrowers have borrowed (i) $175.0 in
aggregate principal amount pursuant to a Term Loan A due March 2004 (the "Term A
Loan") and (ii) $200.0 in aggregate  principal  amount pursuant to a Term Loan B
due March 2005 (the "Term B Loan"). The outstanding principal amount of the Term
A Loan currently  bears interest,  at the applicable  Borrower's  option,  at an
all-in drawn cost of 2.00% per annum in excess of the adjusted  eurodollar  rate
or, with respect to U.S.  dollar  denominated  alternate based rate loans, at an
all-in  drawn  cost of  1.00%  per  annum  in  excess  of the  prime  rate.  The
outstanding principal amount of the Term B Loan currently bears interest, at the
Company's  option,  at a rate of 2.50%  per  annum  in  excess  of the  adjusted
eurodollar rate or, with respect to U.S. Dollar denominated  alternate base rate
loans,  1.50% in  excess  of the  prime  rate.  The Term A Loan  amortizes  on a
quarterly  basis,  in the annual  percentages of 0%, 16%, 16%, 21%, 21% and 26%,
respectively, during the six-year term of the loan. The Term B Loan amortizes in
an annual percentage of 1% during each of the first six years of the term of the
loan and 94% in the  seventh  year of the term of the loan.  The Term A Loan and
Term B Loan are subject to mandatory prepayment in certain circumstances and are
voluntarily prepayable without payment of a premium (subject to reimbursement of
the lenders'  costs in case of prepayment of eurodollar  loans other than on the
last day of an interest period.)

Pursuant to the New Revolving Credit  Facility,  the Borrowers have available an
aggregate  amount of up to $125.0.  The  outstanding  principal  amount of loans
under the New  Revolving  Credit  Facility  bears  interest,  at the  applicable
Borrower's  option,  at an all-in drawn cost of 2.00% per annum in excess of the
adjusted eurocurrency rate or, with respect to U.S. dollar denominated alternate
base rate  loans,  at an all-in  drawn  cost of 1.00% per annum in excess of the
prime rate.  The New  Revolving  Credit  Facility  will  terminate  on the sixth
anniversary thereof.

On March 31, 1998, the Company issued and sold $150.0 aggregate principal amount
of 8-7/8%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2008  (the "New  Senior  Subordinated
Notes").  The New Senior  Subordinated  Notes were issued in a private placement
made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The net proceeds from the offering were used to fund a portion
of the aggregate  consideration of the acquisition of O&K Mining and for general
working capital purposes.

The O&K Mining and Payhauler (the "Acquired Businesses")  acquisitions are being
accounted for using the purchase  method,  with the purchase price  allocated to
the assets  acquired and the  liabilities  assumed  based upon their  respective
estimated fair values at the date of  acquisition.  The excess of purchase price
over the net  assets  acquired  (approximately  $54.2) is being  amortized  on a
straight-line basis over 40 years.

The estimated fair values of assets and  liabilities  acquired in the O&K Mining
and Payhauler acquisitions are summarized as follows:

   Cash.................................................$       3.3
   Accounts receivable..................................       38.5
   Inventories..........................................      135.3
   Other current assets.................................        9.0

                                                        ===============

The  Company is in the  process of  completing  evaluations  and  estimates  for
purposes of determining  certain  values.  The Company has also estimated  costs
related to plans to integrate the activities of the Acquired Businesses into the
Company,  including  plans  to  exit  certain  activities  and  consolidate  and
restructure  certain  functions.   The  Company  may  revise  the  estimates  as
additional information is obtained.

                                          =================  ================


NOTE E -- LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties  including
product  liability  claims,  self-insurance  obligations,  tax  examinations and
guarantees.  Many  of the  exposures  are  unasserted  or  proceedings  are at a
preliminary  stage,  and it is not presently  possible to estimate the amount or
timing of any cost to the  Company.  However,  management  does not believe that
these  contingencies and uncertainties  will, in the aggregate,  have a material
adverse effect on the Company. When it is probable that a loss has been incurred
and  possible to make  reasonable  estimates  of the  Company's  liability  with
respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate
or for the minimum  amount of a range of  estimates  when it is not  possible to
estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur.

The Company generates  hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its operations.  As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of federal,
state,  local and foreign  environmental  laws and  regulations,  including  the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"),
that (i) govern  activities  or operations  that may have adverse  environmental
effects,  such as discharges to air and water,  as well as handling and disposal
practices for hazardous and nonhazardous  wastes,  and (ii) impose liability for
the costs of cleaning  up, and certain  damages  resulting  from,  sites of past
spills,  disposals or other releases of hazardous  substances.  Compliance  with
such laws and regulations has, and will, require  expenditures by the Company on
a continuing basis.

The Internal  Revenue  Service (the "IRS") is currently  examining the Company's
federal tax returns  for the years 1987  through  1989.  In December  1994,  the
Company received an examination  report from the IRS proposing a substantial tax
deficiency.  The  examination  report raised a variety of issues,  including the
Company's  substantiation  for certain  deductions taken during this period, the
Company's  utilization of certain net operating loss carryovers ("NOLs") and the
availability of such NOLs to offset future taxable income.  The Company filed an
administrative  appeal to the examination report in April 1995. In June 1996 the
Company  was  advised  that the  matter  was  being  referred  back to the audit
division of the IRS. The IRS is currently reviewing  information provided by the
Company.  The ultimate  outcome of this matter is subject to the  resolution  of
significant  legal and  factual  issues.  Given the stage of the audit,  and the
number and complexity of the legal and  administrative  proceedings  involved in
reaching a resolution of this matter,  it is unlikely that the ultimate outcome,
if unfavorable to the Company, will be determined for at least several years. If
the IRS  were to  prevail  on all  the  issues  raised,  the  amount  of the tax
assessment  would be approximately  $56.0 plus penalties of approximately  $12.8
and  interest  through  March 31, 1998 of  approximately  $98.6.  The  penalties
asserted by the IRS are  calculated as 20% of the amount of the tax assessed for
fiscal year 1987 and 25% of the tax  assessed  for each of fiscal years 1988 and
1989. Interest on the amount of tax assessed and penalties is currently accruing
at a rate  of 10%  per  annum.  The  applicable  annual  rate  of  interest  has
historically varied from 7% to 12%.


<PAGE>
                                       9


If the Company were required to pay a significant portion of the assessment with
related  interest  and  penalties,  such  payment  might  exceed  the  Company's
resources.  In such  event,  the  viability  of the  Company  would be placed in
jeopardy,  and it is  uncertain  that the Company  could,  through  financing or
otherwise,  obtain the funds  required  to pay such  assessment,  interest,  and
applicable  penalties.  Management believes,  however,  that the Company will be
able  to  provide  adequate  documentation  for a  substantial  portion  of  the
deductions  questioned by the IRS and that there is substantial  support for the
Company's past and future  utilization of the NOLs. Based upon consultation with
its tax advisors,  management  believes that the Company's position will prevail
on the  most  significant  issues.  Accordingly,  management  believes  that the
outcome  of the  examination  will not have a  material  adverse  effect  on its
financial  condition or results of operations,  but may result in some reduction
in the amount of the NOLs available to the Company.  No additional accruals have
been made for any amounts which might be due as a result of this matter  because
the possible loss ranges from zero to $56.0 plus interest and penalties, and the
ultimate outcome cannot be determined or estimated at this time. No reserves are
being expensed to cover the potential liability.

     Net Sales

Sales  increased  $84.3,  or  approximately  48%, to $260.6 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 over the comparable 1997 period,  primarily  reflecting the
sales of $75.0 at the businesses  acquired in 1997 and 1998, and increased sales
of $19.4 for Terex Lifting, excluding acquisitions.

Terex  Lifting's sales were $182.5 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, an
increase of $85.4 from $97.1 for the three months  ended March 31, 1997.  Of the
increase in sales,  $66.0 was due to the results of the  businesses  acquired in
the second quarter of 1997.  Excluding the 1997  acquisitions,  Terex  Lifting's
sales increased  $19.4.  Terex  Lifting's  backlog was $224.0 at March 31, 1998,
compared  to $101.0 at March 31, 1997 and $186.5 at December  31,  1997.  Of the
total  backlog  at  March  31,  1998,  approximately  37% was at the  businesses
acquired in 1997. The sales mix was approximately 10% parts for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 compared to 16% parts for the comparable  1997 period.  The
decrease in parts sales as a percentage  of total sales was  principally  due to
higher machine sales.

<PAGE>
                                       11


Terex  Earthmoving's  sales  decreased  $1.1 to $76.6 for the three months ended
March  31,  1998 from  $77.7 for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997.  The
decrease in sales was  primarily  machine sales in the Unit Rig product line and
sales  at the  Company's  U.K.  distributor,  which  decreased  $4.2  and  $6.8,
respectively,  in the three  months  ended March 31,  1998 as compared  with the
comparable 1997 period, offsetting $9.0 of sales at Payhauler, the unit acquired
in January of 1998.  Sales in Continental  Europe were lower than the comparable
1997 quarter,  reflecting continued weakness in the European construction sector
and the effect of the strong U.K.  currency  on sales from the Terex  factory in
Scotland. Excluding the results of Payhauler, machine sales decreased 15.6%, and
parts sales  decreased  6.6%.  The decline in parts sales was due  primarily  to
reduced activity at the Hypac business during the consolidation of that business
from California into Unit Rig's Tulsa, Oklahoma facility.  Parts sales generally
have higher gross margins than machine  sales.  The sales mix was  approximately
30% parts for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998  compared to 29% parts for
the  comparable  1997  period.  Backlog was $48.5 at March 31, 1998  compared to
$30.3 at December 31, 1997 and $69.1 at March 31,  1997.  Backlog at Unit Rig at
March 31, 1998 declined by approximately  $3.1 and increased by $3.9 as compared
to March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1997, respectively.

Net sales for  corporate  in the three  months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are
service  revenues of $1.5  generated by Terex's  parts  distribution  center for
services provided to a third party.

     Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased  $17.3, or 63%,
to $44.8 as compared to $27.5 for the three  months  ended March 31,  1997.  The
gross profit increased at both Terex Lifting and Terex Earthmoving.

Terex Lifting's gross profit increased $15.8 to $30.1 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, compared to $14.3 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The
increase  was due to the  increase  in sales,  principally  from the  businesses
acquired in 1997 and to an increase in gross margin percentage. The gross margin
percentage  at Terex Lifting was 16.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1998
versus 14.7% for the comparable 1997 period.

Terex  Earthmoving's  gross profit  increased $1.6 to $14.4 for the three months
ended March 31,  1998  compared  to $12.8 for the three  months  ended March 31,
1997. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased  manufacturing
efficiencies  and an increased  share of higher margin TEL  machines.  The gross
margin  percentage  at Terex  Earthmoving  was 18.8% for the three  months ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to 16.5% for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997.
The gross  margin  percentage  increased on TEL products as well as at Unit Rig.
The gross margin percentage  increased at Unit Rig during the three months ended
March 31, 1998, as compared to the comparable  1997 period,  due to the increase
in parts sales as a  percentage  of total sales and as a result of cost  savings
from the outsourcing of certain manufacturing operations.

     Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Engineering,  selling and  administrative  expenses  increased  to $21.0 for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1998 from $14.1 for the three  months ended March
31, 1997, reflecting the effect of the businesses acquired in 1997 and 1998.

Terex Lifting's engineering, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage
of sales decreased to 6.4% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared
to  7.0%  for  the  comparable  1997  period.   The  engineering,   selling  and
administrative  expenses increased to $11.7 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 from $6.8 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, reflecting expenses at
the businesses acquired in 1997.

Terex Earthmoving's  engineering,  selling and administrative expenses increased
$1.4 to $7.8 for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $6.4 for
the same period in 1997. Substantially all the increase relates to the effect of
the acquisition of Payhauler in January of 1998.

     Income from Operations

On a  consolidated  basis,  the Company  had  operating  income from  continuing
operations  of $23.8,  or 9.1% of sales,  for the three  months  ended March 31,
1998,  compared to operating  income of $13.4,  or 7.6% of sales,  for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, for the reasons mentioned above.

Terex Lifting's income from operations of $18.4 for the three months ended March
31,  1998  increased  by $10.9  over the three  months  ended  March  31,  1997,
primarily  due to the  results of the  businesses  acquired  in 1997,  increased
revenues  at  lifting,  excluding  acquired  companies,  and the  effect of cost
control  initiatives  implemented  at PPM  Europe  and  Terex  Cranes  -  Conway
Operations  and  continued   strong   performance  by  Terex  Cranes  -  Waverly
Operations.

                                       12


Terex  Earthmoving's  income from  operations  increased by $0.2 to $6.6 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $6.4 for the three months ended March 31,
1997,  primarily due to the results of Payhauler acquired in January of 1998 and
improved gross margin  percentages at the rest of Earthmoving,  which offset the
impact of lower sales.  Improved gross margin  percentages were seen at Unit Rig
due to a higher  proportion  of parts  sales  and  outsourcing  and  other  cost
reduction actions.

     Other Income (Expense)

During the three months ended March 31, 1998,  the  Company's  interest  expense
decreased $0.2 to $8.7 from $8.9 for the comparable  1997 period.  This decrease
was  primarily due to lower debt levels in the three months ended March 31, 1998
versus the  comparable  period in 1997.  The  proceeds  from the issuance of the
common stock in July 1997 were used to reduce the average balance borrowed under
the New Credit  Facility and then on September 4, 1997 the Company retired $83.3
of the Senior Secured Notes due 2002.

Other income  (expense)  for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was primarily
amortization of debt issue costs,  which was partially offset by the gain on the
sale of excess assets.

     Extraordinary Items

The Company  recorded a charge of $38.3 in the three months ended March 31, 1998
to recognize a loss on the early  extinguishment  of debt in connection with the
redemption of its 13-1/4%  Senior  Secured  Notes due 2002 (the "Senior  Secured
Notes") and the refinancing of the Company's bank credit facilities.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash of $11.6 was used by operating activities during the three months ended
March 31, 1998.  $27.2 was provided by operating  results plus  depreciation and
amortization, and approximately $22.4 was invested in working capital during the
period  primarily to support the increase in business  activity at Terex Lifting
and TEL.  Net cash used in  investing  activities  was  $173.5  during the three
months ended March 31, 1998, primarily related to the purchase of O&K Mining and
Payhauler. Net cash provided by financing activities was $213.7 during the three
months  ended March 31, 1998.  Cash was  provided by the net  proceeds  from the
issuance of the New Senior Subordinated Notes and additional borrowings from the
New Bank Credit  Facility.  Cash was used in the redemption or defeasance of the
remainder of the Senior Secured Notes.  Cash and cash equivalents  totaled $58.5
at March 31, 1998.

Debt reduction and an improved capital  structure are major focal points for the
Company.  In this regard,  the Company  regularly  reviews its  alternatives  to
improve  its  capital   structure  and  to  reduce  debt  service  through  debt
refinancings,  issuance of equity, assets sales,  including the sale of business
units, or any combination thereof.

Including the  acquisition  of O&K Mining,  during the past several  years  the
Company  has  invested  approximately  $379 to  strengthen  its core  businesses
through five strategic  acquisitions.  The Company expects that acquisitions and
new product  development will continue to be important  components of its growth
strategy and is continually  reviewing  acquisition  opportunities.  As with its
previous  acquisitions,  Terex will  continue to pursue  strategic  acquisitions
which   complement   the  Company's  core   operations,   offer  cost  reduction
opportunities  as well as  distribution  and  purchasing  synergies  and provide
product diversification.

As  discussed  in Note B of the  notes  to the  interim  condensed  consolidated
financial statements,  on March 6, 1998 the Company refinanced its then existing
credit facility and redeemed or defeased all of its $166.7  principal  amount of
its then outstanding 13-1/4% Senior Secured Notes. The proceeds for the offer to
purchase and the repayment of its then existing  revolving  credit facility were
obtained  from  borrowings  under the  Company's  New Bank Credit  Facility.  In
connection  with the  refinancing of the Company's then existing credit facility
and  the  repurchase  of  the  Senior  Secured  Notes,   the  Company   incurred
extraordinary  losses  of $1.9  and  $36.4,  respectively.  These  extraordinary
charges have been recorded in the first quarter of 1998. The total funds paid at
the redemption were $202.2 ($166.7 principal,  $28.7 redemption premium and $6.8
accrued interest).

The New Bank Credit Facility  consists of a new secured global  revolving credit
facility  aggregating up to $125 million (the "New Revolving  Credit  Facility")
and  two  term  loan  facilities  (collectively,  the  "Term  Loan  Facilities")
providing for loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $375
million.  The New Revolving Credit Facility will be used for working capital and
general corporate purposes,  including acquisitions.With limited exceptions, the
obligations of the Borrowers  under the New Bank Credit  Facility are secured by
(i) a  pledge  of all of the  capital  stock  of  domestic  subsidiaries  of the
Company,  (ii) a pledge of 65% of the stock of the foreign  subsidiaries  of the
Company and (iii) a first  priority  security  interest  in, and  mortgages  on,
substantially all of the assets of Terex and its domestic subsidiaries.  The New
Bank Credit  Facility  contains  covenants  limiting the Borrowers'  activities,
including,  without  limitation,  limitations  on dividends and other  payments,
liens, investments, incurrence of indebtedness, mergers and asset sales, related
party transactions and capital  expenditures.  The New Bank Credit Facility also
contains certain financial and operating covenants, including a maximum leverage
ratio, a minimum  interest  coverage  ratio and a minimum fixed charge  coverage
ratio.

                                       13


Pursuant to the Term Loan Facilities,  the Borrowers have borrowed (i) $175.0 in
aggregate principal amount pursuant to a Term Loan A due March 2004 (the "Term A
Loan") and (ii) $200.0 in aggregate  principal  amount pursuant to a Term Loan B
due March 2005 (the "Term B Loan"). The outstanding principal amount of the Term
A Loan currently  bears interest,  at the applicable  Borrower's  option,  at an
all-in drawn cost of 2.00% per annum in excess of the adjusted  eurodollar  rate
or, with respect to U.S.  dollar  denominated  alternate  based rate loans, at n
all-in  drawn  cost of  1.00%  per  annum  in  excess  of the  prime  rate.  The
outstanding principal amount of the Term B Loan currently bears interest, at the
Company's  option,  at a rate of 2.50%  per  annum  in  excess  of the  adjusted
eurodollar rate or, with respect to U.S. Dollar denominated  alternate base rate
loans,  1.50% in  excess  of the  prime  rate.  The Term A Loan  amortizes  on a
quarterly  basis,  in the annual  percentages of 0%, 16%, 16%, 21%, 21% and 26%,
respectively, during the six-year term of the loan. The Term B Loan amortizes in
an annual percentage of 1% during each of the first six years of the term of the
loan and 94% in the  seventh  year of the term of the loan.  The Term A Loan and
Term B Loan are subject to mandatory prepayment in certain circumstances and are
voluntarily prepayable without payment of a premium (subject to reimbursement of
the lenders'  costs in case of prepayment of eurodollar  loans other than on the
last day of an interest period.)

Pursuant to the New Revolving Credit  Facility,  the Borrowers have available an
aggregate  amount of up to $125.0.  The  outstanding  principal  amount of loans
under the New  Revolving  Credit  Facility  bears  interest,  at the  applicable
Borrower's  option,  at an all-in drawn cost of 2.00% per annum in excess of the
adjusted eurocurrency rate or, with respect to U.S. dollar denominated alternate
base rate  loans,  at an all-in  drawn  cost of 1.00% per annum in excess of the
prime rate.  The New  Revolving  Credit  Facility  will  terminate  on the sixth
anniversary thereof.

Also as discussed in Note B of the notes to the interim  condensed  consolidated
financial statements, on March 31, 1998 the Company acquired O&K Mining GmbH for
a net aggregate  consideration of approximately $168.  Concurrently with the O&K
Mining  acquisition,  the Company  issued $150.0 of 8-7/8%  Senior  Subordinated
Notes due 2008. 

As of March 31, 1998,  the Company's  balance  outstanding  under the New Credit
Facility  totaled  $8.4,  letters  of credit  issued  under  the New  Credit
Facility  totaled  $10.6,  and the  additional  amount  the  Company  could have
borrowed under the New Credit Facility was $106.0.

The Company's  businesses are working capital  intensive and require funding for
purchases of production and replacement parts inventories,  capital expenditures
for  repair,  replacement  and  upgrading  of  existing  facilities  as  well as
financing of receivables from customers and dealers. The Company has significant
debt service  requirements  including  semi-annual  interest payments on the New
Senior  Subordinated  Notes and  monthly  interest  payments  on the New  Credit
Facility. Management believes that cash generated from operations, together with
the New Credit  Facility,  provides the Company  adequate  liquidity to meet the
Company's operating and debt service requirements.


CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Internal  Revenue  Service (the "IRS") is currently  examining the Company's
Federal tax returns  for the years 1987  through  1989.  In December  1994,  the
Company received an examination  report from the IRS proposing a substantial tax
deficiency.  The  examination  report raised a variety of issues,  including the
Company's  substantiation  for certain  deductions taken during this period, the
Company's  utilization of certain net operating loss carryovers ("NOLs") and the
availability of such NOLs to offset future taxable income.  The Company filed an
administrative appeal to the examination report in April 1995. In June 1996, the
Company  was advised  that the matter was being  referred  back to the IRS.  The
audit  division of the IRS is currently  reviewing  information  provided by the
Company.  The ultimate  outcome of this matter is subject to the  resolution  of
significant  legal and  factual  issues.  Given the stage of the audit,  and the
number and complexity of the legal and  administrative  proceedings  involved in
reaching a resolution of this matter,  it is unlikely that the ultimate outcome,
if unfavorable to the Company, will be determined for at least several years. If
the IRS  were to  prevail  on all  the  issues  raised,  the  amount  of the tax
assessment  would be approximately  $56.0 plus penalties of approximately  $12.8
and  interest  through  March 31, 1998 of  approximately  $98.6.  The  penalties
asserted by the IRS are  calculated as 20% of the amount of the tax assessed for
fiscal year 1987 and 25% of the tax  assessed  for each of fiscal years 1988 and
1989. Interest on the amount of tax assessed and penalties is currently accruing
at a rate  of 10%  per  annum.  The  applicable  annual  rate  of  interest  has
historically varied from 7% to 12%.

If the Company were required to pay a significant portion of the assessment with
related  interest  and  penalties,  such  payment  might  exceed  the  Company's
resources.  In such  event,  the  viability  of the  Company  would be placed in
jeopardy,  and it is  uncertain  that the Company  could,  through  financing or
otherwise,  obtain the funds  required  to pay such  assessment,  interest,  and
applicable  penalties.  Management believes,  however,  that the Company will be
able to provide adequate documentation for a substantial portion of the



<PAGE>
                                       14


deductions  questioned by the IRS and that there is substantial  support for the
Company's past and future  utilization of the NOLs. Based upon consultation with
its tax advisors,  management  believes that the Company's position will prevail
on the  most  significant  issues.  Accordingly,  management  believes  that the
outcome  of the  examination  will not have a  material  adverse  effect  on its
financial  condition or results of operations,  but may result in some reduction
in the amount of the NOLs available to the Company.  No additional accruals have
been made for any amounts which might be due as a result of this matter  because
the possible loss ranges from zero to $56.0 plus interest and penalties, and the
ultimate outcome cannot be determined or estimated at this time. No reserves are
being expensed to cover the potential liability.

In March  1994,  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")
initiated a private investigation, which included the Company and certain of its
affiliates,  to determine  whether  violations of certain aspects of the Federal
securities  laws had  occurred.  To date,  the  inquiry  of the  Commission  has
primarily  focused on accounting  treatment and  reporting  matters  relating to
various  transactions  which took place in the late 1980s and early  1990s.  The
Company is cooperating with the Commission in its investigation. The Company has
recently been advised by the Staff of the Commission that it has been authorized
by the Commission to institute an administrative  proceeding against the Company
and  certain  of its  present  and  former  officers  and  affiliates.  Based on
information   currently   available  to  the  Company,   it  is  the   Company's
understanding tat if a proceeding were to be brought,  the Staff intends to seek
an order to cease and desist violations of the Federal  securities lase (without
monetary  penalties)  based on  claims  relating  to  accounting  treatment  and
reporting  maters with respect to the  Company's  financial  statements  for the
years ended December 31, 1990 and 1991, as well as the Company's  Proxy Statment
covering the 1992 fiscal year.  It is not possible at this time to determine the
outcome of the Commission's investigation.

The Company is subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties  including
product  liability  claims,  self-insurance  obligations,  tax  examinations and
guarantees.  Many  of the  exposures  are  unasserted  or  proceedings  are at a
preliminary  stage,  and it is not presently  possible to estimate the amount or
timing of any cost to the  Company.  However,  management  does not believe that
these  contingencies and uncertainties  will, in the aggregate,  have a material
effect on the  Company.  When it is probable  that a loss has been  incurred and
possible to make reasonable estimates of the Company's liability with respect to
such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or for the
minimum  amount of a range of estimates  when it is not possible to estimate the
amount within the range that is most likely to occur.

The Company generates  hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its operations.  As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of federal,
state,  local and foreign  environmental  laws and  regulations,  including  the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"),
that (i) govern  activities  or operations  that may have adverse  environmental
effects,  such as discharges to air and water,  as well as handling and disposal
practices for hazardous and nonhazardous  wastes,  and (ii) impose liability for
the costs of cleaning  up, and certain  damages  resulting  from,  sites of past
spills,  disposals or other releases of hazardous  substances.  Compliance  with
such laws and regulations has, and will, require  expenditures by the Company on
a continuing  basis.  The Company does not expect that these  expenditures  will
have a  material  adverse  effect  on its  financial  condition  or  results  of
operations.
